Rosie, to this day I still can't believe you're gone. I have my days I smile and those I cry as well. You were more than a stepmother to me. I love you and will miss you dearly. Sleep on and take your rest. I love you.

Rest in peace Rosemary. I was honored to work with her in the Cap Metro Area for the United States Postal Service. She was funny and wicked smart and wise. I enjoyed seeing her travels on social media over the past few years. My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and community.

It was with great sorrow that I learned about the loss of your mother, Rosemary Martin-Fountain. Our professional paths crossed when she held the position of Manager, Learning Development & Diversity and later, she served as my Human Resources Manager in Washington, DC. Before her retirement, we were colleagues at HQ in the Learning and Development team, discovering along the way that we shared a profound passion for helping others realize their career aspirations. Rosemary was a truly extraordinary individual, and her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies for your loss.

I met Rosemary at a conference for Training Managers with the United States Postal Service so many years ago. We reconnected when I worked at the Area office in Maryland and she worked in Charlotte. The ever ending friendship began and grew when she came to Maryland. We shared so much as we laughed and cried. I will always remember that laugh and smile. She was a loving and giving person. We may not see each other often but when we talked it was just a matter of catching up and the laughter began. I never met Bonnie, her grands and Mary but I felt like I knew them. She loved them so much. I remember her planning trips for the grands when they had school breaks. I will not say goodbye to Rosemary for she will always be in my heart. I will say I love you my friend and we will see each other again. To her family- she is not gone - she will forever be in your hearts. Keep the memories alive and share them. Love on each other, comfort each other, laugh and cry. May God comfort you and keep you close in His arms. Toni Crosby

Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. Matt 5:4. Rosemary was a jewel, she and I worked in Human Resources dept at the Post Office in Charlotte, she will be missed but remembered.

I was heartbroken to hear of Rosemary's passing. She was one of my dearest friends and my BFF at the US Postal Service. We became not only colleagues but also travel partners for work, sharing countless wonderful memories—including a vacation to Cancun, Mexico. Laughter was a cornerstone of our friendship, and we cherished every moment we spent together. Rosemary and I were different in so many ways, especially when it came to work attire. She was always prim, proper, and professional, while I leaned toward business casual. When we first started traveling together as Engagement Facilitators, we would meet for breakfast at the hotel. One morning, she looked at me and asked, "Are you going to wear that?" I was wearing pants and a blouse, while she was in her signature business suit. I looked at her and replied, "I'm glad you asked, because I was about to tell you to ditch those suits! You look way too churchy, and you're overdressed for what we're doing every day." She burst into laughter, and soon we were both crying with laughter. After that, we agreed to switch to embroidered polos and dress slacks. It was an adjustment for her, but one day she admitted, "You know, you were right about the attire. I've saved so much money on dry cleaning and shopping, and packing is so much easier now!" I grinned and said, "I know I was right—that's why you should always listen to me!" That, of course, led to another round of belly-aching laughter. Rosemary's kindness, humor, and spirit touched everyone she met. I will forever treasure the memories we shared and the bond we had. She will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered.
